A Bum Subject.

Have you the tired feeling? It Is because yon have been humming. Nice people bum as well as toughs. It is supposed thatrnice people go to bod at 10 o'clock, but very often they do not; very often they cat lunches at 13 o’clock, and then sit up until 2 to let the cheese and things “settle ” This sort of a bum Is worse than a whisky drunk. (If you must get drunk, drink only good whisky: champagne and wine of every kind splits the head. Beer Is about tho worst thing you cai»drink, with the exception of champagne. If you drink too much beer, It enlarges your liver, until It rubs up against your ribs ) The tired feeling you hear people talk about is the result of this nice bumming. There are many nice bums in Atchison, and they bum at nice houses, and there should be a crusade against them. When a bad man bums, he is ashamed of it, and tries to reform, but your nice bummer imagines that he is in scciety, and Your riice bummer has a weak stomdeb, which is worse than a- beer liver. .The nice bum, although not so hideous to look at, is worse than the regular bum against which, people are warned.— Atchison Globe.
